Lyin' Larry By Shel Silverstein Pg. 109

Larry’s such a liar--He tells outrageous lies.He says he’s ninety-nine years oldInstead of only five.He says he lives up on the moon.He says that he once flew.He says he’s really six feet fourInstead of three feet two.He says he had a billion dollars‘Stead of just a dime.He says he rode a dinosaurBack in some distant time.He says his mother is the moonWho taught him magic spells.He says his father is the windThat rings the morning bells.He says he can take stones and rocksAnd turn them into gold.He says he can take burnin’ fireAnd turn it freezin’ cold.He said he’d send me seven elevsTo help me with my chores.But Larry’s such a liar--He only sent me four.
